水とともにある暮らし

日本最大の湖、琵琶湖。その西岸の高島市針江地区では比良山系を水源とする豊富な湧き水を暮らしの中に取り入れ、日常生活に使用している。各家々では「川端」と云う炊事場を設え、水を使うだけでなく、「川端」の中で鯉などの魚を飼い、野菜の切りくずや食材の残りを食べさせ、自然の方法で水を浄化し下流に流す。水辺に暮らす人々の工夫と知恵を紹介する。

Harie – A Community Centered on Water

The old village of Harie sits on the west bank of Lake Biwa, Japan’s largest lake. Water runs throughout this village from springs fed from the surrounding mountains, and has always been the focus of life in Harie. Each house has its own spring, which supplies what the locals call a kabata. Centuries of thought have gone into the layout of these kabata, which provide water for everything from kitchen chores to drinking. The village water is kept pure by various ingenious natural means, such as breeding fish in the kabata to eat dirt and scraps.

針江――一個愛護水環境的地方

琵琶湖是日本最大的淡水湖，其西岸高島市針江地區各處都有以比良山系為水源的泉水湧出。當地各家各戶把泉水引入家中，設叫“川端”的厨房，洗米洗菜等日常生活用水都是這些泉水。人們還在 “川端”用厨餘飼養鯉魚等，通過這種天然的方法把污水净化后才流向下游。本集向各位介紹生活在這裏愛護水環境的人們的智慧和做法。
